Celebrating Nature: Pagan Ceremonial Clothing Inspired by the Elements

Pagan ceremonial clothing refers to the attire worn by individuals who participate in pagan religious ceremonies or rituals. Paganism is a diverse and ancient spiritual tradition that encompasses various beliefs and practices. The clothing worn during these ceremonies is often symbolic and serves to connect the individual to their spiritual beliefs and the natural world. In pagan traditions, clothing may be chosen based on specific deities or elements of nature that are being honored or invoked during the ceremony. For example, individuals may wear specific colors or patterns to represent certain gods or goddesses, or they may incorporate natural materials like leather, fur, or feathers to connect with the earth and its inhabitants. The clothing may also include symbols or sigils that hold personal meaning or represent the individual's spiritual path.

In addition, each story is modified to manifest only the hero’s individual accomplishments, concealing their negative aspects, and underestimating the influence of social contexts such as gender discrimination (modification of individual texts). Moreover, the pictures and maps, present in the textbooks, create an image of “timeless Greece” as it traces the movements of the heroes. These materials help young students connect the heroes’ world with their own. Activities and questions also help children adopt heroes as familiar role models (paratextual and visual elements). In conclusion, mythology in Greek primary school History textbooks function as an effective tool to teach the value of individualism to children.

L'article essaie de lire parallèlement ces pièces de Lemoine avec les tragédies d'Euripide et quelques pièces contemporaines. Dans Médée, poème enragé, l'auteur puise à la source de la tragédie, pour composer le poème d’exil multiple; l'envie d'appartenance de sa Médée est forte. Contrairement à la pièce d'Euripide, mais conformément à quelques pièces contemporaines, le message «politique» est dominant, le moment où la solitude de Médée est absolue, comme elle est une femme amoureuse et trahie et en même temps elle est une princesse noire, qui a été exploitée et brocardée par un monde qui nie l’altérité, en exerçant sa propre violence légitime. Iphigénie est un voyage saisissant à travers la vie d’Iphigénie. Son désir d’identité précédente et son besoin de s'intégrer dans la famille précédente sont forts; l'héroïne seule se souvient des moments familiaux de son enfance et planifie son avenir. Conformément à la pièce d'Euripide, le message pacifiste est fort, quoique exprimé sur un ton différent. Pourtant, si Iphigénie de Lemoine veut rentrer et retrouver l'identité précédente, une autre y parvient, mais elle se sent déçue et confuse.

MEDEA IN WORLD ARTISTIC CULTURE . TBILISI: LOGOS.

In the 16th century, Fernando Colombus, the son of Christopher Colombus, noted on the margin of the verses 375 to 379 of his copy of Seneca's Medea the following reminder: ‘This prophecy was fulfilled by my father the admiral Christopher Colombus in the year 1492’. The prophecy he refers to, voiced by the chorus, reads: ‘There will come an age in the far-off years/ when Ocean shall unloose the bonds of things,/ when the whole broad earth shall be revealed,/ when Tethys shall disclose new worlds/ and Thule not be the limit of the lands’. Fernando Colombus, and his contemporaries, understood that Seneca was here foretelling Christopher Colombus’ journey into unknown waters, discovering a land beyond that known to western culture: America. This thus became the origins of a tight link between Medea, as participant in the quest for the Golden Fleece, the Argonauts and the imperial might of Spain. In order to establish this imperial link between Medea, the Argonauts and the conquest of the New World this chapter explores its reception at the zenith of Spain’s imperial power in the 17th century. To do so it principally focuses on Spain’s most renowned artistic production, Golden Age Theatre, by analysing Medea's portrayal and role in Lope de Vega’s El Vellocino de Oro (1622) and Calderón de la Barca's Los tres mayores prodigios (1636) and El Divino Jason (c.1630). These three plays will help to reconstruct Medea and the Argonaut’s utility for the imperial narrative in 17th-century Spain and beyond.

This paper examines the reception of misogynistic tropes in the Greek-Cypriot Press during the first decades of the 19th century, through a comparative study of women’s portrayal in 19th century Europe and ancient Greek and Latin literature. The analysis focuses on both ‘scientific’ and ‘metaphysical’ evidence that consign women to the convenient role of the ‘Other’. Philosophical and sociopolitical readings of the given periods with regard to female inferiority, on matters such as the size of the female brain and the alleged animalistic and materialistic nature of women, not only associate them with negative female stereotypes, but also subordinate them as powerless, incapacitated ‘males’ and, eventually and inevitably, inhuman. In a paradoxically reversed power relationship, however, in which both mythological and theological beliefs coincide, women are also sketched as fearsome dominae and demonized enemies of the victimized genus of men. This paper will demonstrate that the silenced outsider’s multifaceted and artificial construction as the ‘Other’, both in Greco-Roman antiquity and 19th century Europe and Cyprus, serves man’s intention to feminize his most unsurpassed fear: the risk of power loss as a consequence of a potential reversal of roles, in which the male ego becomes – or still is – (the reflection of) his female alter.

Others may opt for simpler attire, such as plain robes or tunics, to maintain a sense of humility and focus on the spiritual aspect of the ceremony. In addition to the symbolic and spiritual aspects, practical considerations also play a role in choosing pagan ceremonial clothing. Some traditions may require certain clothing items as part of ritual rites or practices, while others may prioritize comfort and ease of movement during ceremonies held outdoors or in natural settings. It is worth noting that pagan ceremonial clothing is not limited to a specific gender or role. Both men and women can participate in pagan rituals and wear clothing that reflects their personal spiritual connection and beliefs. Similarly, individuals from various backgrounds and walks of life can engage in pagan practices and choose ceremonial clothing that aligns with their individual journey. Overall, pagan ceremonial clothing serves as a visual representation of an individual's spiritual beliefs, connection to nature, and participation in rituals. It adds a layer of symbolism and significance to the ceremony, enhancing the individual's experience and fostering a deeper connection to the spiritual realm..

Reviews for "Pagan Fashion Icons: Influential Figures in the Pagan Community"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the quality of the pagan ceremonial clothing I purchased. The material felt cheap and flimsy, and there were loose threads all over the garment. Additionally, the sizing was way off, even though I followed the provided size chart. The overall design of the clothing also didn't match the pictures on the website, making it look much less appealing in person. I would not recommend buying from this brand if you're looking for high-quality and accurate representations of pagan ceremonial clothing.

2. Sarah - 1 star - I had a terrible experience with this pagan ceremonial clothing. The colors in the pictures looked so vibrant and rich, but when I received the item, they were dull and faded. Not only that, but the stitching was poorly done, with visible errors throughout the garment. The fit was also completely off, despite ordering my usual size. It was clear that no attention to detail was given in the manufacturing process, making it feel like a cheap knock-off of what was advertised. Save your money and look for better options elsewhere.

3. Emily - 1 star - I regret purchasing this pagan ceremonial clothing. The fabric felt incredibly uncomfortable against my skin, and I couldn't stand wearing it for more than a few minutes. The design also lacked originality, appearing generic and uninspired. The price I paid did not match the quality and aesthetics of the clothing, and I was left feeling incredibly disappointed. I would not recommend this brand to anyone seeking unique and comfortable pagan ceremonial attire.

4. Thomas - 2 stars - The pagan ceremonial clothing I received was poorly made. The seams were uneven, and there were loose threads hanging from various parts of the garment. The fit was also strange, with the sleeves being too long and the waist too tight, even though I ordered my usual size. The overall construction felt flimsy and did not seem like it would last long. I was expecting much more based on the price I paid, and I am disappointed with the overall quality of the clothing.

5. Rachel - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the pagan ceremonial clothing I purchased. The material felt rough against my skin, and it was not comfortable to wear at all.

The sizing was also off, with the clothing being too tight in some areas and too loose in others. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money on a subpar product and would not recommend it to others in search of quality pagan ceremonial clothing.
